Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A device for separating a sample of cells suspended in a bio-compatible ferrofluid is described. The device includes a microfluidic channel having a sample inlet, at least one outlet and a length between the same inlet and the at least one outlet, wherein a sample can be added to the sample inlet and flow along the microfluidic channel length to the at least one outlet. The device includes a plurality of electrodes and a power source for applying a current to the plurality of electrodes to create a magnetic field pattern along the microfluidic channel length. The present invention also includes a method of using said device for separating at least one cell type.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A device for separating a sample of particles suspended in a ferrofluid, the device comprising: a ferrofluid containing a sample of particles; a microfluidic channel having an inlet, at least one outlet and a length between the inlet and the at least one outlet, wherein the inlet is configured to receive the ferrofluid and the channel is configured to flow the ferrofluid to the at least one outlet; a plurality of electrodes traversing at least a portion of…
